FΓΌr Lockheed Martin, Rheinmetall und wie sie alle heissen aber schon. Sogar OpenAI und co wittern profit.

The news increasingly read like Kipling's poetry.

A better poet, CΓ©saire, wrote: "[It isn't] a philanthropic enterprise, nor a desire to push back [tyranny], nor an attempt to extend the rule of law", "that the decisive actors here are [...] the pirate, the wholesale grocer [...] and the merchant"

Mab mir vor lΓ€ngerem Mal die Argumente angeschaut. Flugis brauchts demnach fΓΌr:
- AufklΓ€rung
- Reichweite
- Gegen tieffliegende Objekte oder den Boden

I think part of the problem is that some overestimate their power on social media. It reminds me a bit of the many, many failed attempts at entryism.

There are people going back to Twitter, arguing that they can effect change. What a mix of hubris and inability to learn from history.

Screenshot of the linked website, sllowing you to draw a molecule or copy a SMILES, or just ask for compounds in a species. Filter by mass, year of finding, or more. And downloadable for faster searching.

Another article where the abstract looked sus and according to checking tools it's 100% "AI" generated. I honestly don't want to read this shit.

I wonder why this is a (sub) figure in main at all... Isn't this a clear SI candidate (at best)? Surely there are better/more important things to show...

Does Anthropic think Claude is alive? Define β€˜alive’ β€œWe don’t know if the models are conscious,” Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei said on a podcast earlier this month.

This is so ridiculously stupid.

"Anthropic calls its chatbot β€˜a new kind of entity’ that might be conscious"

I tried it once and never again. The only worse vegan or vegetarian product I ever had was the egg from Migros

Kallas and Rutte were somehow born 150 years too late... That moral certainty and European exceptionalism just isn't what it used to be...
At least la grande nation had the most phallic of messaging since the installation of the obelisk on the place de la concorde

Good riddance to the vegetarian and vegan bacon, though. I haven't eaten animal bacon in 25 years but I'm pretty sure it doesn't taste like burnt car tires πŸ˜‰

Rotes Glied und Richtung bleibt: Regierung lehnt Anpassungen klar ab Nach Parlamentarier-Anfrage: Der Regierungsrat will weder das rote Glied noch die Laufrichtung des Berner BΓ€ren Γ€ndern.

GrΓΌnliberal gibt Gas.

"Dieser hatte angeregt, den BΓ€ren kΓΌnftig ohne Geschlechtsteil darzustellen, damit sich die gesamte BevΓΆlkerung besser vertreten fΓΌhle [...] Als Symbol fΓΌr Fortschritt kΓΆnnte sich der BΓ€r zudem kΓΌnftig von unten links nach oben rechts bewegen. Heute laufe er ja rΓΌckwΓ€rts."

But why so few? What is it with Chemistry research and, well, the other two websites?

Ja, stimmt... wobei innenpolitisch wirds ja mittlerweile auch schwierig was gescheites zu machen (nicht, dass das aktuell versucht wΓΌrde), unter anderem dank der Aussenpolitik der letzten 20-40 Jahre. Ich fΓΌge mal einfach ein koplett zufΓ€lliges Bild bei πŸ˜‰
